Of all the beautiful homes I write about, I do have my favorites… and the historic Greenwich, Connecticut home of Melissa Hawks from The Well Appointed House is at the very top of my list. Built in 1912, the pink Mediterranean estate known as the Mary C. Morrison house or “Twin Elms” features breathtaking marble fireplaces, exquisite woodwork, mouldings, and ceilings. And Melissa has decorated it most exquisitely, using my favorite Gracie wallpaper, damask, and chintz. You may recall, I featured her home earlier this year, and today I am thrilled to feature it again, decked in its Christmas finery!

Beautiful!
Fabulousness! That dining room! And the stair hall, and everything else… She really has a wonderful taste level. So nice to see a house like that get an owner up to the task of decorating it properly. It truly is a Well Appointed House. Thanks for sharing this holiday décor. Made my day.
I love her home and store! And aren't the stockings are so fun?! Hope you're having a great week!
